It’s exactly as you say, the CoDs and GTAs get perfect scores, yet contain may flaws and other games get mediocre scores and end up being better titles that those above…. it’s lunacy.

I think more and more people are getting sick of sites like 1up and IGN and their very played out cycle of

hype hype hype hype, game releases if it’s not MW, Crytek game, GTA, Halo or Uncharted give it a bad or mediocre review citing flaws that are very apparent in their “top reviewed games. It also doesn’t help that these reviews are very amateurish for “professional” reviews ranging from babbling fan boy or moral high horse hipster gamer to getting facts about the game completely wrong. I do LOVE PC reviews mention 360 or PS3 features.

Personally I read NeoGAF, this site, Yahtzee and gamecritics.com. Gamecritics being the only HONEST review (And after thought) about LA Noir I read.
